AN AIR POWERED CAR There is now an amazing new car that can run on air. It is cheap, creates no pollution and costs almost nothing to run. But is it just too good to be true? The new CAT (compressed air technology) car was shown at the Paris motor show. The car was invented by Fenchman Guy Negre. He has spent the last six years developing his idea and has now produced a car that can travel up to 120 miles(200 kilometres) on one tank of compressed air and reach speeds of up to 65 mph(110 kph).The car will cost around 7,000 pounds(10,000 euros) and will come complete with its own refuelling system. The company believes that the car will sell well to taxi companies and delivery firms that operate in towns, because they don´t need to travel long distances and the will be able to afford cost of the refuelling station. Some critics have pointed out that the car hasn´t been properly tested yet, but it could turn out to be the answer both to the energy crisis and to the problem of inner city pollution.
